    Swapping a 2006 4.0 into my 2003 4.0: What can I expect?

    I plan on swapping the 4.0 in my current 03 Wrangler for a 2006 4.0 and was wondering what to expect. Mainly, I've heard that the ECUs are not compatible. Some sites have said I'll need a full drivetrain swap, others have said a custom TCU. Hoping to get a definitive answer here. Thanks!

    Mr. Bonedale's 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited

    This is my Jeep. I purchased new in 2006 after hearing it was the last year of the Unlimited (LJ). I really like the 2 door, long wheelbase platform as well as the 4.0L power plant, transmission, transfer case, Dana 44's, etc, etc. The build was designed to keep as much of a 'stock' look as...

    Leaking Coolant inside Jeep

    Hey guys, I'm still a little new to Jeeps, and have only had half of the vehicle be broken. My issue today is coolant leaking from near the shifter, underneath the center dashboard/radio thing. I think it could possibly be the heater core, but I'm new to working on vehicles. Here's a link to...

    OPDA Scream

    Afternoon everyone. My tj has developed a problem recently where the belt will screech and scream extremely loud for the first 10 min after startup.

    06 LJ auto won't start!

    This weekend while trail riding, I hit a bump and the jeep stalled out. Put in park and it fired right up. 2hours later hit another bump and it died and wouldn't fire up. No CELs. Towed to a friend's house and after some diagnosis, we decided the fuel pump was bad. Replaced it. Afterwards the...

    2006 4.0 valve cover

    Hey all, hope you are fairing well today. I’m running into an issue finding an inexpensive valve cover for my “06” 4.0L. Would I be ok to go with an “04” or earlier? I’m not sure if there is any difference.

    Stock Radio Upgrade

    So, the new (to me) jeep has a stock radio in it with a CD player, but no USB or audio inputs. I would like to upgrade to one that does - any suggestions for radios that would fit the default dashboard of the 06 Wrangler X?

    Hi all, this is my first time posting and I'd appreciate any and all advice! I am a college student and I am looking at getting a TJ as a DD first and for off-roading second.
